While the Lakers have been playing away lately, the Rockets have been hitting the home stretch. It started with a loss to Golden State (95-106) and continued with three straight wins - over Charlotte (128-119) and twice over Sacramento (107-89 and 122-97).
Before the season, Houston invited veteran players to the roster and hired Ime Udoka as head coach. Judging by recent results, the Rockets can now solve tournament problems. Note that four players are averaging more than 15 points per game - Dillon Brooks (16.3), Fred VanVleet (16.7), Alperen Sengunn (18.2), and Jaylen Green (18.2). In addition, Jabari Smith contributes 14.7 points per game.
LA Lakers
After beating the Clippers for the first time in several seasons, the Lakers went on the road to Los Angeles, where they failed twice in a row. First, Darvin Ham's team lost to Orlando (101-120) and then came up just short against Miami (107-108).
Anthony Davis and LeBron James have put up great numbers to start the championship, but what about the rest of the team? So far, it's hard to single out any of the rookies, with D'Angelo Russell (17.3) and Austin Reaves (14.0) being the main help to their stars.
Expert Betting Tips
After two straight losses, the Lakers have fallen below the 50% win mark. This is clearly not a result the team can do. LeBron and his teammates proved their level against the Clippers and should handle Houston well, especially as the Rockets have recently been one of the Lakers' easiest opponents. We're also going with TU - Houston is becoming more of a positional team under Ime Udoka, and they currently rank last in the league in pace.
